Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry
Grandpa's 12 ga
Grandpa's 12 ga
Here's a pic of my Grandfather's Springfield single shot 12 ga. I've had for years, had some rust on it and blueing was poor, so I took a scotchbrite to it and just keep it oiled good. Great turkey shoot gun !! Grandpa got a lot of rabbits w/it !! Always shot it at 12:00 new years eve. as I still do.
Grandpa said " you gotta shoot the old year out to make room for the new year "

Re: Grandpa's 12 ga
It is nice to have a gun that was passed down and that means so much to you. It looks to be in good condition. Thanks for sharing!

Re: Grandpa's 12 ga
Nice collection, DWD. My keyboard is wet from me drooling over those DWs.
I had a 4" DW that my father-in-law gave to me. Passed it on to my daughter when she felt the need for some home protection and since she shot it so well. I would never as her to give it back, but I still miss that gun a lot.

Re: Grandpa's 12 ga
Dave, great post. That's some shotgun. Looks to me, the best part of that shotgun is inside that frame.
